The Master-Singers of Japan

by Clara A. Walsh

[1914]

This is a selection of Japanese classical poetry,
including the classical Tanka form, translated as
part of the Wisdom of the East Series.
She includes numerous poems from such works as the
Maniyoshu, plus several more modern compositions such
as the Japanese National Anthem.
The collection has been broken down into about two
dozen arbitrary sections. Sometimes these sections correspond to
a particular writer, sometimes not.
